Full function Moneydance for iPad - PLEASE!
Hi. I've been using Moneydance to manage my money for around 17 years now and despite a few niggles and occasional bugs I find it excellent, allowing me to keep full control of my finances and all my accounts.
I started using it on Linux and then for the last 12 years on MacOS.
Many years ago I tried the mobile version for iOS and found it so limited, and so difficult to use (especially for split transactions and currencies) that I gave up on it. At the time I suppose I felt perhaps I was expecting too much in wanting more function on a small mobile device.
However, iPads (especially recent M-powered 13 inch models) are now just as capable and powerful as many laptops, yet we still have a really second rate Moneydance app., which I therefore don't use at all. It would be so good if you could develop a full-function iPad version with the same functionality and UI as the MacOS version.
Is there any chance we you may bring out a full-function iPad version sometime soon? If it is good enough, I would be willing to pay to have it available on my iPad - especially when travelling without my Mac.
Thank you.

+1 to improving the mobile apps. In the current form, they unfortunately seem like an afterthought to the desktop versions. Some fixes I'd like to see:
1. Cross-account search. Currently you can only search within a particular account. I'd like to see a full search across all accounts, just like on the desktop app. Use case: I am want to find a credit card purchase; I know the retailer name but don't remember which cc I put it on. Seems like this should be a simple enhancement
2. Support for investment accounts, especially those accounts that are used simply as checking account replacements (eg, Fidelity's cash management account). Right now you can't even view these transactions, let alone edit them.
3. Online account download (eg, Moneydance+ functionality)
4. Split category transactions when entering a transaction
As the OP posted, right now the mobile app is nowhere near a replacement for the desktop version. Would love to see that change as I spend more and more time traveling with my ipad sans laptop
